This is a quote from the introduction by Wojciech Gunia to the anthology on 02/24/2022 – a publication from which the proceeds will be donated to help Ukrainians and Ukrainians, and more specifically the Proliska humanitarian organization supporting civilians fleeing the war.
It is a grassroots, spontaneous action by the creators and readers of horror fantasy, initiated by the writer Jarosław Klonowski. Publishing House IX will be responsible for the publication of the anthology . The first media patron of the anthology was the Biały Kruk magazine .
Participation in February 24, 2022 was declared by, among others , Jakub Bielawski , Łukasz Orbitowski , Radek Rak, Michał Cetnarowski, Michał Protasiuk, Magdalena Salik and Marcin Podlewski. The editorial supervision of the publication was taken over by Anna Kańtoch . About eighty prose authors are qualified for the anthology, including Ukrainian voices.
The premiere of the anthology in the form of an e-book is planned for March 25. Two volumes will be published – prose and comics, and, at a slightly later date, poetry. Selected texts will be translated into Ukrainian and published in paper. What’s next? Audiobooks and radio plays. Here we will probably have a lot to say – fandom, fantasy readers.
We will keep you posted on the progress of work; You will surely find meetings with people involved in the creation on the web on 02/24/2022 . We also invite you to a conversation about the anthology with Jakub Bielawski, which will take place on Wednesday, March 23, on the friendly blog Nerdheim .
